Colleen Driscoll is the younger sister of Quinn Driscoll, an athlete who died in 2009 from an undiagnosed heart condition.
In the wake of that tragedy came the Quinn Driscoll Foundation, dedicated to the education and testing/screening of young people for issues surrounding Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The foundation also has donated automated external defibrillators throughout the community, AEDs that have saved lives.
“The foundation is something the whole family is involved with,” said Scott Driscoll, Colleen’s dad.
“I think about him every day,” Colleen said.
Every once in a while, Colleen sees one of Quinn’s favorite animals while pitching at the Vancouver Girls Softball Association complex next to Salmon Creek.
